Integrating Artificial Intelligence Into Radiation Oncology: Can Humans Spot AI?

Introduction Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming healthcare, particularly in radiation oncology. AI-based contouring tools like Limbus are designed to delineate Organs at Risk (OAR) and Target Volumes quickly. This study evaluates the accuracy and efficiency of AI contouring compared to human radiation oncologists and the ability of professionals to differentiate between AI-generated and human-generated contours.

Understanding the Radiation Dose Variability in Nasopharyngeal Cancer: An Organs-at-Risk Approach.

Objective This study aims to thoroughly assess the radiation dose distribution to critical organs in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma, focusing on the correlation between the radiation dosages for the various organs at risk (OARs) in nasopharyngeal cancer patients. Methods We meticulously analysed a dataset comprising 38 nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients, focusing on radiation dosages measured in Gray (Gy) and volumetric data in cubic centimetres (cc) of critical organs, including the lens, brainstem, spinal cord, optic nerve, optic chiasm, and cochlea. A detailed exploratory data analysis approach encompassed univariate, bivariate, and multivariate techniques.
